Because of the embarrassment after that battle, the people had been spying on the Melesviet family, wanting to know what they thought about the battle.
It was true that the Libation Fiesta was abnormal, but they were supposed to beat them, especially with their current strength.
That was why people had been asking for an explanation, considering the country's reputation had been tarnished.
Carrick was furious, but more importantly, he was focused on searching for Clovis' information.
Finally, after a lot of digging, he found it. It was at that time the Melesviet family spoke up.
Carrick immediately prepared for a press conference, planning to clear up the name of the Melesviet family and shift all the trouble back to Clovis.
At the very least, he could finally punish his grandson without anyone knowing it this time. After all, everyone's eyes were on Clovis.
In front of numerous reporters, Carrick got a question. "Sir Carrick. Did you not feel embarrassed after suffering such a disastrous defeat in Absalom?"
Before, Carrick would be furious. But after figuring out Clovis' identity, Carrick simply smiled. It was as if he had let go of his burden and the embarrassment was just a thing in the past.
"!!!" The people were confused by the sudden smile. They thought Carrick had gone insane. How could a loser smile ?
But before they could speak another word, Carrick said, "I don't feel embarrassed losing to an old rival."
"An old rival?" The people were confused. They thought Carrick was talking about Ezekiel, considering he was also present.
However, when the reporter asked, "Sir Carrick. Mr. Ezekiel—!"
Before he finished his question, Carrick raised his hand, stopping him. "No. You misunderstand. I'm not talking about Ezekiel Elseingarde. He is nothing but an old fox who is taking advantage of the situation.
"The person I'm talking about is Clovis' grandfather. Losing to the grandson of that person is not embarrassing. In fact, I'm relieved. With this, my grandson, Tesron, can finally mature, knowing that there are hidden dragons in this world, including someone who is deliberately erasing the trace of him from his grandson.
"Clovis must be the hidden weapon of that family. The proof is that group of his. I'm now relieved because I can finally see what kind of thing they've been preparing this whole time… I guess I shouldn't really call him Clovis anymore. Instead, I should call him by his full name… Clovis Hacfield."
The people who were watching it live fell silent. They widened their eyes and paused for a moment, as if their brains had stopped working for a moment.
More and more people started to recognize the name and immediately dropped their jaws to the ground.
Hacfield. That was a cursed name in this world. Of course, the Hacfield family wasn't that hated. However, they were like a walking disaster. A mysterious family that could do anything they wanted in this world, the Hacfield family.
Starting from his grandfather, Michael Hacfield, the family is basically one of the strongest families in the world. In addition, Michael Hacfield was free from any obligation because he wasn't affiliated with any countries like Mara. Still, Mara Leverstrike wasn't as dangerous as Michael, because she just walked around without causing much ruckus. However, Michael was known as a madman who did the unthinkable.
His son, Gerald Hacfield, was no exception. He might not have the unique ability, but his talent was so high that it was considered one of the pseudo-unique abilities. That talent allowed him to understand, develop, and improve a martial art.
People even called him the World Guru. There were many influences who were indebted to him because he managed to improve their techniques.
He married Aisha Meilern, now Hacfield, the person who was known as the best doctor in the world. She mastered three major fields and her research has improved the whole world. In fact, she was one of the leading scientists that created the Super Injection and also the Recovery Pod.
The Hacfield family might not be big, but these three pillars alone were so tall that most people could only lower their heads, not daring to compare their achievements.
This time, Carrick dropped a bomb, revealing that Clovis was actually the grandson of Michael Hacfield and the son of Gerald and Aisha. How could they not be shocked?
Looking at his unique ability alone, Clovis was definitely going to become a Tier 9 human in the future. More importantly, he had an abnormal group that might eventually become one of the strongest groups in the world.
Last but not least, he had another unique ability user and a pseudo-unique ability user under him.
This fact alone elevated Clovis' status to a rare position. Getting Clovis meant getting the Libation Fiesta. People thought that at first.
Once Carrick revealed his full name, the people realized that they wouldn't just get the Libation Fiesta but also the Hacfield family. Any influence would simply shoot up to the top if they managed to get Clovis.
That was why this announcement shocked the world more than Clovis defeating Tesron's team.
The mysterious family that had been hidden from the public eye now could be seen in Clovis.
Carrick simply continued, "As such, my family will be doing our best to become stronger from this point onward, now that we know who our rival is. I know you are watching this, Michael. Deny it if Clovis is not your grandson. I know you can't. Even if you are trying to be mysterious and erase his family name, you are not someone who will deny this."
After stating it, Carrick simply left the room.
The reporters tried to ask a few more questions, but Carrick had left the room. There was nothing that needed to be said. Clovis' full name alone was enough to shift everyone's attention from his family.
The press was broadcast to the entire country at first, but it soon spread to Skytube before spreading even further to conventional media in each country.
In less than an hour, Clovis' full name was spread to the entire world.
